New for Infants

Until relatively recently, baby boy clothes were traditionally available in a very narrow range of colors and styles. Of course there were white and pale blue for the plain footed sleepers but even the romper suits for summer came with very limited choices. The main source of anything even remotely special came from friends and family members who resorted to knitting or other creative approaches.

Nowadays the choice of baby clothes for boys is nearly as great as for baby girls. Gone are the plain pale blue or white, now there are vibrant colors like orange, green, purple and dark blues to name a few. But its not just the colors that have changed, so too have the range of styles available.

Its no coincidence that these expansions in colors and styles have happened at the same time as the number of outlets for baby boy clothes has increased. Department stores have built up their baby sections (just think of Macy’s or Sears or J C Penney) and clothing stores have jumped on the bandwagon (see Gap or Old Navy). Even more specialist are the cool and trendy approaches of designer stores selling kids clothes as well as baby clothes.

The trend has even reached the market for newborn baby clothes, where the idea of coordinating just about everything from head to toe has taken hold. In an effort to provide ever more appealing outfits, some stores have given catchy names to newborn outfits. And for children as young as three months and older, the drive to produce cool and trendy clothes is on the rise.

Need some examples before you’re convinced? Well, take a look at Ralph Lauren and the trendy outfits they offer (see the rugby coveralls as just one example and the many styles of shortalls). Or try Ooh La La Mama for their designs. And how about the great baby boy clothes offered by Pottery Barn online?

Even if you’re not able to afford the more expensive designer clothes for your baby boy you can always find very attractive products in the more mainstream stores such as Wal-Mart or Target – or even Amazon online. Well produced and cute clothes are easy to find and decorated with many different themes including cars, boats, trains, planes and a whole host of television and movie characters.

One of the biggest design changes in todays baby boy clothes is the fact that many of them are miniature copies of adult clothes. For instance you can now get body suits that look like polo shirts, long sleeved and short sleeved shirts for babies as young as 3 months, as well as jeans, joggers, camouflage trousers, khakis and twill pants for the same age group.

From top to toe baby boy outfits have changed. Talking about toes there are now some really cool socks available to compliment any outfit. No longer do you have to buy boring socks when you can get socks that look like tennis shoes or ones that look like golf shoes or even camo booties. Your baby’s little feet can now be warm and stylish at the same time!

Whether you are buying high street baby clothes or designer baby clothes it seems that whatever your interest, sport or pastime the chances are there is a baby outfit that reflects this. There is certainly no lack of choice nowadays when it comes time to find clothes for your baby boy!
